Chapter 1 -The Ourtcast of Silvermoon

The moon was swollen and pale that night, hanging low enough that it seemed to press down on the earth.It was the kind of moon that should have stirred the blood of every wolf in Silvbermoon Pack. It should have made us stronger. Faster. Unified.Instead, it seemed to make them more vicious towards me.I stood in the center of the training grounds, bare feet sunk in cold mud, rain slicking my hair against my cheeks. A ring of faces stared at me, some openly sneering, others eyes carefully blank, pretending they weren't enjoying this. Not one of them looked at me with anything close to kindness.Bebta Rowan was the first to speak. "You cost us the hunt again, Selene," he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "Three deer gone because you couldn't keep up".My jaw tightened. I kept up. I had run until my lungs burned and my legs felt like they would tear apart. But when the Alpha's daughter had tripped, I'd caught her, and that single moment saving her from snapping her neck

Chapter 2- Teeth Beneath the Smile

The morning after punishment was always the same. PainThe wounds would ache, the air would sting around broken skin. And the pack would pretend it hadn't happened, as if erasing it from memory made it acceptable.I woke before the others, as I usually did. The barrack was still filled with the deep, even breaths of wolves. The smell of damp straw and stale sweat hung in th eair. I rose quietly, my movements slow so i didn't pull the fresh scabs across my back.The first thing I did was slip outside to the well. the water was icy, making my fingers burn as i drew it up in the bucket. I washed quickly, teeth clenched against the burn, the water turning faintly pink before swirling away in the dirt.A shadow fell across me."Cleaning up after your latest failure, Selene?"The voice was smug, sweetened with false innocence. I didn't have to turn to know who it was, Liora, the Alpha's daughter. Golden hair, perfect posture, the faint smell of rose clinging to her. She was only a year olde

Chapter 3- The breaking Moon

The first snow of the season came early. It blanketed the silvermoon teritory in white, softening the jagged lines of the forest, quieting the world. But beauty in Silvermoon was never harmless. Snow meant harder hunts, colder nights, and shorter tempers. Wolves grew hungier, meaner. And when that happened, they always looked for someone to take it out on.Someone like me.I was hauling firewood from the forest when they came for me. Three of them, Garrick's son, Malric and his two friends. They didn't need a reason. they never did."Carrying wood for the fires?" Malric'c voice was dripping with mockery. "How generous. Almost like you're a real pack member".I didn't answer. My arms were full, the rough bark biting into my skin through the thin fabric of my sleeves. The cold made my breath curl in the air. I kept walking.One of the others stepped in front of me. "Where's your manners, curse-born? don't ignore your betters". I shifted my weight, trying to step around him. The third

Chapter 4 - The Wolves who smile with teeth

When Alpha announced who would join him on the journey to meet the shadowfangs, my name was not on the list.It didn't surprise me. It never did. I had stopped expecting anything from Silvermoon long ago except for crueltyStill, as the chosen wolves prepared at dawn, strapping on weapons and adjusting cloaks, i couldn't help the hollow ache in my chest. The Shadowfangs were the kind of pack you only heard about in stories, strong, independent, respected by their allies, feared by their enemies. And i would not see them.I stood on the edge of the clearing, arms full of kindling for the barracks fire, as the delegation mounted their horses and shifted into wolf form where needed. Alpha Garrick led the way, his massive grey wolf a shadow against the pale snow. Beside him trotted Beta Rowan, and just behind was Malric, his fur the same iron-grey as his father's.Before they left, Malric, his lips curled back, revealing sharp teeth in what was meant to look like a smile. The kind that pr

Chapter 5- When the Moon Turns Away

The cold had teeth that winter.It bit through my cloak, through my skin, through my bones until I felt hollow inside. The Silvermoon camp lay shrouded beneath a heavy quilt of snow, every hut half-buried, every path a jagged trail of ice and slush. Smoke trickled lazily from chimneys, the only warmth in a world that had forgotten the sun.Two weeks had passed since the Shadowfang delegation left. Two weeks of silence, then whispers, then sharpened cruelty. The pack had been restless ever since their departure. Tension clung to every word spoken, every order given. I had become their favorite outlet the stray they could cut down without fear of consequence.That morning, I tried to keep my head low. I moved quietly, hoping to finish my chores before anyone thought to notice me. But luck had never been mine to claim.“Selene!”The bark of my name froze me in place. I turned slowly to see Malric, the Beta’s favored son, standing in the training yard. His breath steamed in the frosted ai

Chapter6- The Wolf With Midnight Eyes

Three days passed after the night I wept beneath the oak.Three days in which nothing changed except me.It was subtle at first, so slight no one else would have noticed. I still rose before dawn to tend the fires, still carried buckets of water until my shoulders ached, still endured the whispers and the stares that followed me like shadows. Outwardly, I was the same. But inside, something had gone cold.It was the kind of cold that no fire could touch. Not numbness exactly more like stillness, as if part of me had shut its eyes and turned away.I no longer expected the moon to answer.The morning of the third day dawned gray and heavy. Snow had crusted thick against the huts, icicles hanging sharp as daggers from every eave. The world seemed suspended in silence, save for the crack of my axe splitting wood. The rhythm was steady, mechanical, the only sound in the still air.Then I heard it.A faint thrum, distant at first the sound of hooves striking frozen earth. Slow. Deliberate.

Chapter 7- Beneath the Alpha's Shadow

The next morning, the camp was restless.Silvermoon wolves had never liked guests. They liked Shadowfang wolves even less. But Damien wasn’t just any Shadowfang he was their Alpha. His presence hung over the camp like a storm cloud. Conversations broke off when he passed. Eyes tracked him warily from doorways. Even the air itself felt charged, as though the snow might crack and shatter beneath the weight of him.For me, that weight pressed hardest when Garrick called my name.“Selene!” His voice boomed across the yard, sharp as a lash. “To the hall.”My stomach tightened. I set down the bucket I’d been carrying and brushed the snow from my hands before heading toward the main hall.The hall was warm, almost stifling after the bite of winter air. A great fire roared in the hearth, its flames crackling over thick logs. Smoke curled lazily toward the high rafters, mingling with the scent of roasted venison and old wood. The walls were lined with

Chapter 8- The Alpha's Measure

Snow fell in slow, lazy spirals the next morning, blanketing the camp in silence. The flakes clung to the roofs of huts and softened the hard lines of the palisade, but the beauty of it didn’t reach me. Beauty never lasted long in Silvermoon.I was in the woods behind the storage shed, splitting kindling for the kitchen fires. The axe’s handle was rough against my palms, my breath pluming in sharp bursts as I swung. The cold bit at my fingers, stinging until they went numb, but I welcomed it. Pain was easier to bear when it came from frost or wood instead of people.The steady rhythm of the axe striking kept me grounded. Chop. Crack. Split. Gather. Repeat. It was the only music I had left.I didn’t hear him approach.“You work alone often,” Damien’s voice came from behind me, low and even, like the rumble of distant thunder.The axe paused mid-swing. My pulse leapt. I straightened slowly, turning to face him. The Shadowfang Alpha stood half in shad

Chapter 9 – Where the Sky Breaks

The ridge loomed like a jagged scar against the pale morning sky. Its silhouette tore across the horizon, sharp and merciless, as though the earth itself had been clawed open. The wind was relentless, rushing down from the peaks in icy bursts that rattled the trees below and bit at any strip of exposed skin.I had been near this place before, but never this high. Never at this hour, when the sun was still dragging itself out from behind the horizon and the shadows stretched long across the snow.Damien was already waiting. He stood on a rocky outcrop, dark and still against the white world around him, the wind tugging strands of his hair loose. His coat, long and black, rippled like a banner behind him. He didn’t look cold. He looked carved from the mountain itself.“You’re late,” he said. His voice carried easily despite the storm’s edge in the air.“It’s still dawn,” I answered, my breath visible in the chill, each word a puff of vapor.

Chapter 10 – Whispers in the Den

The ridge was behind me, but the cold still clung to my bones. My fingers ached, and the ache in my legs was a deep, throbbing thing that promised I’d feel every step tomorrow.We entered the camp just as the sun had cleared the treetops. A few wolves were already up, hauling firewood, repairing fences, or tending the smokehouses. But when Damien walked in ahead of me, the work slowed. Heads turned.And when they saw me following him, boots caked with frozen dirt and my hair wind-snarled, the stillness shifted.It wasn’t admiration I saw in their eyes.It was suspicion.I’d been stared at before. In Silvermoon, the glances were always sharp, thrown like stones from a distance. Here, they were closer, more assessing as though they were measuring my worth and finding the scales unbalanced.A tall, broad-shouldered wolf I didn’t know muttered something to a younger one beside him. They both smirked. I caught the word pet.
